Thanks Peterpan. I think no what matter I what I do to the shoes I probably won't wear it often because it doesn't really fit me. I will probably flick it like you said. I probably will stay away from Meermin in the near future because their last dont fit me very well. However I am still...- flexiflex

Just want to get some opinions about a pair of Meermin shoes I bought which I am not really fond of. It is a doublemonk in Museum gold calf leather. it turns out to be a lot lighter than what they show on their website. Also I asked them if I should order half size down because I ordered a...- flexiflex

It's Tax return time and I really appreciate if someone can answer this. I tried to find info online but not sure if I got the right answer. If I were to purchase a hand carry luggage cost $1000 on the 1st of July. 90% of its use is for business. Therefore $900 for business use. As a...- flexiflex

It's not too bad for me because the mirror shines usually last quite long. I also put on records and sipping whiskey whilst doing it. Would you pay someone to do it for you? I would if you ask me. In Australia we are very behind when it comes to shoes. it is getting better I tho.- flexiflex

Thanks for the confirmation. I know how to do a mirror shine, have watched plenty of videos and did few pairs of my own. Was just wondering whether spending 2 or more hours is normal... I get that some members on this forum are not a big fan. For those who are, how long does it take to do yours??- flexiflex

I always found your advice helpful JM! I found a cobbler in Crows nest who is willing to install the flush metal taps, thats why I want to give it try and report back result. Also, for me shoes is an art form of beauty. I know no one is going to look at the bottom of my shoes. However I hate...- flexiflex

In average, how long does it take to properly shine and polish a pair of shoes? It takes me more than 2 hours and I am thinking I am spending too much time due to my skill level. When do you feel you need to strip the wax (I am using Renomat) and start over again? Last time I did my C&J...- flexiflex

Got few questions about removing stains from my tan shoes. I have a pair of tan brogue wingtip. I much prefer the vintage look so I am trying to change the colour to a darker shade. A newbie mistake. I think I have used an old cloth when applying dark brown cream, which ultimately stained...- flexiflex

I asked Coombs a few weeks back and they confirmed they don't do flush top tap, even if you supply them. Double Monk is going to open in the Stand Arcade soon, probably by the end of this month. I found a cobbler who is willing to install flush top tap in Crows nest. The price is very...- flexiflex

Yes the guy in Burlington St. He actually did a good job of replacing the heel of my Tods. For the metal tip he installed the crescent-style toe taps which looks a bit dodgy so I wasn't too impressed. Overall his work is good, but expect to pay a bit more. One thing about my Yanko shoes I...- flexiflex

Just received my first Yanko shoes. It is a burgundy brogue. I am sure you guys have heard it before, the quality is below Carmina, but above Meermin. I would say it is close to or just below C&J. (Btw I rate Carmina above C&J (not the handgrade). The leather of my carmina is definitely more...- flexiflex
